KAILUA-KONA. For a truly unique experience, call ahead to schedule an up-close-and-personal tour of this facility, which is dedicated to seahorse preservation. More than 15,000 of the creatures (swimming happily in 300,000 gallons of seawater) are on display, including 17 species that have been hatched in-house. Learn about Ocean Rider's eco-friendly mission, take a gander in the gift shop, and have a stroll down the coast after the tour is over.

SOUTH HILO. One of the more unique zoos you'll visit, Pana'ewa Reserve allows a glimpse of life in a tropical rainforest, making it the only such facility in the United States. More than 80 species of animals call the reserve "home," including Namaste (a rare white Bengal tiger), an Aldabra tortoise named Beauregard, and Arnie the water buffalo. Other residents include giant anteaters, a pygmy hippo, black-handed spider monkeys, and a butterfly house. Tropical flora, a water garden, and peacocks also add a note of exoticism.
